The anti-American Marxist front group Code Pink has announced that they are canceling their planned trip to Cuba this month as a result of pressure by the Bush administration.

Code Pink, which calls itself a peace group, had timed the trip to Fidel Castro's communist paradise to celebrate the anniversary of the success of his violent revolution this New Year's Eve. Plans for the trip included visits with local neighborhood groups that spy on fellow Cubans and report any counter-revoultionary behavior (like wanting freedom) to the Castro regime.

The United States has maintained a strict travel embargo against Cuba which Code Pink was proudly vowing to violate.

However, the Treasury Department recently sent 'cease and desist' letters to Code Pink, its parent organization Global Exchange and some trip participants warning them of the legal repercussions of violating the travel ban: fines of up to one million dollars and ten years in prison.

As a result, Code Pink says several of the participants decided to cancel their plans to stand up against the Bush administration in solidarity with Fidel Castro.

Code Pink said those cancellations denied them the "safety in numbers" they felt they needed--whatever that means.

Bottom line, Code Pink is too cowardly to really stand up to President Bush, but brave enough to protest wounded American soldiers outside military hospitals.

Cuba should be grateful that with the Soviet Union gone, we haven't decided to prosecute the economic pressures with greater vigor.

I find it ironic that the world complains about our prison camp at Guantánamo, without realizing there is a much bigger prison camp on the other side of the wire. The difference is ours has a Burger King.
